aaj ik aur baras biit gayā us ke baġhair
jis ke hote hue hote the zamāne mere
means
miTā de apnī hastī ko agar kuchh martaba chāhe
ki daana ḳhaak meñ mil kar gul-o-gulzār hotā hai
a seed has to bite the dust to become a flower
miTa de apni hasti ko agar kuchh martaba chahe
ki dana KHak mein mil kar gul-o-gulzar hota hai
a seed has to bite the dust to become a flower
